Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2,7) and (-1, 3) ?

Answer 1

slope = (3 - 7)/(-1 - 2) = -4/-3 = 4/3

Answer 2

The slope is 1.34 or 4/3.

The slope of points (2,7) and (-1,3) can be solved using the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (3 - 7) / (-1 - 2)
m = -4/-3
m = 4/3 or 1.34
